Frontier Airlines employees must be vaccinated against COVID-19 by October.
Low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines said on Friday all its employees will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Oct. 1 in view of rising coronavirus cases.
The airline said employees who choose not to be vaccinated, or are unable to, will be asked to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test on a regular basis.

“As we continue to watch the rapid increase of new COVID-19 cases across the United States caused by the Delta variant, I am concerned for the well-being of our team members, their families and friends,” Chief Executive Officer Barry Biffle said.
“The good news is that the vast majority of our employees have already taken this important step and have gotten vaccinated.”
Earlier in the day, United Airlines became the first U.S. airline to require COVID-19 vaccinations for all domestic employees.
